COMMENT NOTICES REMOVED

Posts

Oh. Oh well. THANKS A LOT, CHAOS.

Well, we'll see what happens.

I totally agree with this decision. I don't think the feature worked out as planned. If you are subscribed to a game that gets a lot of comments like Hero's Realm the traffic can become quickly overwhelming. It generates a lot of unnecessary clutter (imagine getting a notice every time someone responded to a topic you posted in). Perhaps there will be ways to fine tune it in the future, but for now I consider it an annoyance.

However, I would hope that the developer's can still opt-in to receive comment notifications as it helps them keep tabs on their game page, especially ones that don't receive a lot of comments and thus may be unmonitored otherwise.
h...h..how could you betray me like this?
I like reading new comments. Maybe you could just sort the Notices inbox, separating comments from images added, blog entries, new downloads, etc.

The notices were re-implemented and will soon be a bit more customizable than they are now. In the future, you will be able to specify if you want all comments from a game to generate notices.

OR, the new default will be that you are only given a notice after you have already commented on whatever the item in question is.
What about for our own games and articles?

You will ALWAYS be notified for those.

I'm liking the sounds of this.

WIP, maybe have it notify you only once when new comments have been added, and then only update that single notification.

Say you post a picture, and then 8 people comment on it.

Then, the website should give you one notification that links to the image. Such as:
"(8) new replies in _image_ for _project_".

This is a good idea. Especially if full customization is too buggy to implement.
So... Are the comment notices on or off now? I'd like to know if I have to hunt down comments or be notified of them. Not that I ever get comments... So it would be useful to know if I do!
If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it....................


I never had a problem with how notices were handled before, but whatever is best for the site, I suppose.

my 158 pages of notices would like a word with you
i'm never gonna get a notification again wheeee
It seems your experience with the Notifications is proportional to how much of your life you spend on RMN. Despite having some 46 subscriptions, I was rarely overwhelmed by the volume of notices due to the fact that I was on RMN like 8 hrs a day every day (except weekends).

Sometimes I'd come back after a weekend to about 3 pages of notices.

Shhh!
This is a terrible decision. It's hard to keep track of all the places where you might get a comment. This function should be restored.

Why is this a problem? You don't have to click on every single notification, just the pages. If the flashing is annoying then a "Mark all as seen" button would solve this.

Maybe notifcations should only store 50 pages and new notifications overwrite the old ones. Also, I have never once looked at my notices if I didn't have any new ones, perhaps there is no need to store them at all?
